Forge welding or hammer welding was introduced during the Industrial Revolution. This involved heating two pieces of iron until they were red-hot and then hammering them together to create a bond. This process was improved upon with the development of steam-powered hammers and presses. Resistance welding, fusion welding, and oxyacetylene welding were not developed until much later.
